Right Time, Right Place

Part 28

Monday, June 14th

Amelia's POV:

I am very pregnant. My bump is huge and I can hardly move around. I've basically been in bed for the last month. I just woke up in the middle of the night and have to pee, I nudge Owen's shoulder, "Owen I need help to the bathroom." He opens his eyes immediately and gets out of bed to help me. He basically has been helping me do everything, he's the best guy in the world. He leads me to the bathroom and I go in and shut the door. I feel a strong kick and then something happens. I gasp, "Owen, my water just broke" I say through the door.

He opens the door quickly, "Are you serious?" I see the fear in his eyes and all I can do is nod.

"Okay, okay. We need to get you to the hospital. Let me get you downstairs. I will get the bags we have packed and tell Carmen." He says talking quickly. Before I can respond to him he's slowly picked me up. He carries me downstairs and gets me on the couch. "I'll be right back!" He runs upstairs and I hear him go in Carmen's room. She comes running down the steps.

"Mom are you okay?!" She asks me.

I nod, "Terrified and in pain but I'm okay"

She hugs me, "You got this! Dad says I have to stay here but he said grandma will bring me to the hospital later."

"Alright honey" A contraction hits me and I tightly grip the couch. "OWEN HURRY UPPP" I yell loudly.

He comes back with our bags and helps me up once again. We slowly walk to the car. He calls Arizona to tell her I'm in labor and she says she will meet us in the ER.

As Owen is driving there he looks over at me, "This is it"

I nod, "This is it" He gives me his hand I squeeze it tightly.

4 hours of labor later....

Owen is sitting behind me in bed holding me as I scream and try to get this baby out. She's a stubborn one though.

"Amelia, the baby is in distress and you have been pushing for four hours. We need to do an emergency c-section. Owen get out of the bed now." Arizona says to me as she is looking at the monitor.

I shake my head, "No no I can't."

"Amelia it is the only way. I'm going to numb you and take you up. Owen you can be gowned and in the OR sitting by her head."

We are in the OR now and Owen is sitting by my head holding my hand. I know we are both terrified right now so I look at him.

He looks back at me, "Mel it's okay. Blake is going to be here. She's going to be okay and so are you." He kisses my head.

After a few minutes we hear a baby cry and I gasp. "Dad do you want to cut the cord?" Arizona asks Owen and he gets up to do it.

Owen comes over holding Blake with tears in his eyes. He lays her on my chest for a few seconds until Arizona has to take her again.

----

I wake up in the recovery room and see Owen holding Blake. I try to sit up and put my arms out but I realize how much pain I am in and tear up.

"Mel hold on, you can hold her." He gently adjusts the position of my bed and then gets me a pillow to cover the incision site so it doesn't hurt holding her. He places her in my arms and then pulls a chair over.

"Everything hurts right now, but at least she's beautiful." I look down at her.

Owen nods, "She has everything about your face, but the Hunt genes are strong so the red hair came through. I called my mom and told her that she could bring Carmen."
